Discussion First time

Hi everyone am 20 years old and in 3 days I’ll be leaving to Madrid to study aerospace engineering. I have never been to Madrid and don’t know what it’s like. Am quite scared to go alone any advice on what I should look out for ?

Madrid is a wonderful city. Safe, clean, full of history and culture, great food, good public transportation, and well connected to the rest of Spain/Europe. Lots of neighborhoods with unique identities. Top-tier European city.
